HOW TO - Retrofit / Modifications / Parts List Thread.

[kwakaman]

Seeing as we dont have a sticky for HOW TO" threads on the forums at the moment. I am going to try and complile a thread with as many "How to...." subjects i can find on the forums (of importance).
Will include Retrofit and some Modification threads.

Feel free to post a thread here with a link to a thread to help me complile.
Will try and keep the post updated and bumped to page 1 as much as possible to stop people having to use SEARCH for the HOW TO threads, and start unecessary new one's.
Just trying to be helpful.
